Episode 1: Seabed Habitats – Restoration and Protection

10 December 2020 @ 4:30 pm - 5:15 pm

The Ocean Conservation Trust will be running a free webinar series beginning on Thursday 10th December at 4:30pm about the incredible seabed habitats and animals found around the UK, and how we are working to protect them.

Our first 45-minute webinar will be aired live in front of the Eddystone Reef Tank at the National Marine Aquarium. We cannot wait to talk about the exciting work we are doing, along with our partners, to help #saveourseabed.

Register here for Episode 1: Seabed Habitats – Restoration and Protection

The seabed around our coast holds amazing secrets about life on this planet, how it is sustained and its future. The habitats found there are fundamental to our existence and vital to the survival of all life on this planet. Find out more about why seabed habitats are important to you.

This offer is part of a wider project – LIFE Recreation ReMEDIES, run by Natural England and with partners. ReMEDIES aims to improve the habitat condition within 5 Special Areas of Conservation by working in habitat restoration and behaviour change.
